I'm here to say that a good time was had by all. Like any race there is a lot of bitching about how the rules aren't fair and blah blah blah, but it's a race and Nick and Leif can do whatever the hell they want because "thems the rules." Nice job to the organizers and all who volunteered on this thing, by the way.
Highlights include meeting a lot of people from out of town, quite a few from in town, and of course riding all over the damn place. After a few post-race party stops, I got home at 0130 and was ready for some peanut butter on bagel, which I happily obliged myself, but I digress.
The Men's winner bags:
There are three manifests this time, you don't get the second and third manifests until you complete the first and second, respectively:
Roughly 300 racers heading out on the Le Mons start down packed trail through the snow; we can stop the race now, Frane up front there wins:
The stop at Nick's house (Motörhead is playing on the 15th):
Okay let's just cut to it.
Chelsea ends up winning women's speed (even after stopping to fix an early flat) while Erin takes 2nd in men's stupor:
Jana ends up taking second in speed, seen here before the race:
Women's stupor champ goes to Christina from Chicago:
The rest of the photos are here, wait until you're at work then take a gaze.
